The Queensland Sprintcar Title returns to Toowoomba’s Hi-Tec Oils Speedway this Saturday after a five-year absence, and will search for its 41st victor from a 35 lap final.

A remarkable list of luminaries shrouds the honour roll for the prestigious event, including national heroes, Brooke Tatnell and Garry Brazier who share four titles between them, as well as the iconic Max Dumesny who claimed the crown in 1998 and ten-time Australian champion, Garry Rush who added the Sunshine State’s biggest speedway honour to his resume in 1985.

However, the dominant force in the event, Robbie Farr has won the event on a record five occasions over the last sixteen years since his first victory in 2001, and returns to Toowoomba’s Hi-Tec Oils Speedway this Saturday in search of six victories.

Despite living in different states in Australia across his career, the three-time national champion now ironically lives in the state that has brought him so much success, and is hoping that calling Queensland home will usher in more victories.

“We made the move from Perth to the Gold Coast this year, and it’s been great for me because the race shop is only ten minutes away as opposed to being on the other side of the country when we lived in Perth, and as a result I’m not flying across the country every weekend to get to a race,” he said.

“But more than that, I think the fact I’m working on the race car on a daily basis is really fuelling my hunger to win, and It’s like I’ve had some new life breathed into me, so I guess the combination of living here finally and the fact that Toowoomba has been a happy hunting ground gives us heaps of confidence.”

The other multi-time winner to face the starter this weekend is Toowoomba’s own Andrew Scheuerle, and despite his dominance of the Queensland Sprintcar scene in recent seasons, it’s been a gruelling ten years since the Ausdeck Patios backed racer has worn the crown.

“I’m definitely due for one aren’t I,” the likable family-man laughed, thinking about the ones that had got away.

“It seems like races like State Titles demand perfection. Everything has to be perfect from the time you roll the car out of the trailer, and we just don’t seem to have had that lead up for us since our last win despite winning other big races. But we really need this now, because we’ve never won a title for Ausdeck so that pressure is on, not from our boss, but because he deserves it!”

Action starts this Saturday from 5pm with Sprintcars taking to the track from sundown. Tickets are available now from www.speedwaytickets.com.au or at the gate from 3pm. Check out www.toowoombaspeedway.com and Hi-Tec Oils Speedway on facebook for details and updates.
